Chapter 299: Quasi-Saint enters the arena? The Dao discussion ends!

Admits defeat?!

Chen Ku's words could be said to have exceeded everyone's expectations.

After all, since this exchange began, the Western Buddhist Sect could be said to have had unparalleled power.

Even in the round that was a draw, the Buddhist Sect's prestige still overshadowed the Three Pure Ones' orthodoxy.

No one expected that Chen Ku would so straightforwardly and frankly admit that the Buddhist Sect could not break the array?!

But immediately after, some mighty figures reacted.

"It is said that there is a sequence in hearing the Dao, and there is a specialty in the arts!"

"It seems that this array competition really did hit the Buddhist Sect's weakness."

"Not bad, since Maitreya cannot break the array, struggling to support it is useless."

"Therefore, it is better to simply admit one's own shortcomings."

"Chen Ku is also a person who dares to do and dares to admit; if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, without any excuse."

All living beings were enlightened and then relieved.

There is a specialty in the arts!

This competition was the best interpretation of this saying.

One must know, Maitreya was not an existence like Kong Xuan who opened up a new path.

He usually focused on studying Buddhist Dharma and did not practice other Dao methods.

Therefore, when facing the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array, he would appear helpless.

In a sense, this was the same principle as Kong Xuan restraining Duobao earlier.

Therefore, all living beings did not mock, let alone feel disdain.

On the contrary, for Chen Ku's act of admitting defeat so frankly, they developed great favor.

Of course.

On the other side, the Three Pure Ones did not care how all living beings reacted.

Hearing that Chen Ku finally admitted defeat, the Three Pure Ones' originally solemn and gloomy expressions finally relaxed and eased a bit.

"Haha, good, very good!"

"Disciple Yunxiao, you have added glory to the face of my Jie Sect!"

"This time, you have also displayed the Jie Sect's Dao of Arrays to the fullest; I ask, who in the world can compare?!"

Tongtian couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Rare!

Too rare!

After four rounds of competition, this was the first time they had won fair and square.

How could Tongtian not be happy?!

He shouted loudly, revealing an unprecedentedly arrogant and rebellious side.

And the current result also gave Tongtian the qualification and confidence to be so arrogant.

Regarding this, Yuanshi, who had always disliked the Jie Sect showing off, just glanced slightly and didn't say anything.

Regardless, Yunxiao winning strongly and forcing the Buddhist Sect to admit defeat also allowed the Three Pure Ones to regain some face.

"It's getting better!"

"It's finally getting better!"

Yuanshi thought so in his heart.

Up to this point, the four rounds of competition had resulted in two losses, one draw, and one win.

However, Yuanshi was still somewhat unsatisfied.

"Since we have already competed four rounds."

"Then why don't we set five rounds as the limit and see what the final result is."

Yuanshi suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, all living beings were stunned.

Clearly, Yuanshi was planning again to continue the competition for one more round?!

This was feeling that regaining face was still not enough.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and others also understood Yuanshi's thoughts.

Therefore, the few did not speak, just looked at Yuanshi, waiting for the latter's next words.

This time, who would Yuanshi send?!

Who knew, Yuanshi smiled with deep meaning.

Afterward, his gaze looked at a withered and hunched figure beside him.

"For this fifth round, let Randeng take action!"

"Randeng joined my Chan Sect and is also a disciple of the three sects, so it is also fair and square!"

Once these words were spoken.

All living beings were immediately in an uproar!

Daoist Randeng?!

Listen!

Is this damn thing human language?!

One must know, the Saints had already made it clear earlier that this was an exchange between the disciples of the four sects.

And what level of existence is Randeng?!

He is a true ancient innate mighty figure, of the same generation as the Three Pure Ones and others, and once listened to the Dao in the Zixiao Palace.

Nowadays, Randeng is at the peak of the mid-stage Quasi-Saint cultivation, only one step away from entering the late-stage Quasi-Saint, undoubtedly powerful.

And the reason he joined the Chan Sect was originally to lower his own status.

In anyone's eyes, he could not be treated as a Chan Sect disciple.

What a Saint Yuanshi!

This is to regain face, using any means necessary.

Even a Quasi-Saint powerhouse is not afraid to enter the arena personally?!

Simply playing dirty!

Hearing this, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun immediately frowned, quite dissatisfied.

"Senior Brother Yuanshi, this is somewhat inappropriate."

"With a Quasi-Saint powerhouse entering the arena, this exchange loses its original meaning."

"Exactly, the so-called exchange is just to reflect how our Saintly orthodoxy educates its disciples."

"Since Randeng is an ancient mighty figure, how can this be reflected?!"

The three spoke in deep voices, rebutting Yuanshi.

Disciple competition is to highlight the depth of the Saintly orthodoxy, or rather, what kind of stunning disciples the Saintly Master can teach.

But Randeng... was not taught by Yuanshi to achieve his current accomplishments.

What is the meaning of such a competition?!

But regarding the rebuttal of Jieyin, Zhunti, and others, Yuanshi just smiled faintly.

"Hehe, if the Buddhist Sect does not dare to accept this competition."

"Then... you can also admit defeat directly again, that's all."

Yuanshi was simply in a posture that did not allow the Buddhist Sect to refuse.

Hearing this, Jieyin, Zhunti, and Hongyun's expressions stalled again.

Bullying people too much!

This is bullying people too much!

Admitting defeat earlier was because Maitreya was not proficient in the Dao of Arrays.

But this time, without even taking action, if they admitted defeat directly, the Buddhist Sect would truly lose all face and majesty.

For a time, the three Buddhist Saints' faces were as dark as water, whispering to each other.

"Right now... if we want to fight Randeng, I'm afraid only Ksitigarbha can."

"It's just that his main body needs to guard the eighteen levels of hell, even if we summon him, only a clone can come."

"And if it's just a clone... he is definitely not Randeng's opponent."

Jieyin said in a low voice.

He thought of Ksitigarbha in the first instance.

These words also made Zhunti and Hongyun's expressions somewhat ugly.

Not bad!

Looking at the disciples of the Buddhist Sect, nowadays only Ksitigarbha's main body might have the strength to fight and be able to hard-clash with Randeng.

It's just a pity that he is stretched thin and it is impossible for him to come personally.

Of course, Chen Ku was also on the side and was also a true disciple of the Buddhist Sect.

It's just that, regarding him, Jieyin, Zhunti, and the three directly did not consider him.

Letting Chen Ku deal with Randeng, wouldn't that be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?!

As an existence capable of challenging Saints, once Chen Ku took action, he would certainly be able to crush Randeng.

But in that case, Jieyin, Zhunti, and others wouldn't feel any pride.

In other words, although Randeng is strong, he really doesn't deserve Chen Ku entering the arena personally.

The three Saints were somewhat tangled, not knowing who to send to respond.

However, Chen Ku did not pay attention to the three Saints' whispering.

Watching Randeng already walking out slowly, Chen Ku also revealed a thoughtful expression at this time.

After a moment, his expression shifted, and his gaze looked in a certain direction.

There, a figure wearing simple Daoist robes stood; it was none other than True Person Du'e!

As if contacting Chen Ku's gaze, True Person Du'e also felt a stir in his heart.

"Reporting to the Saint, I, Du'e, am also a member of the Buddhist Sect!"

"Since Saint Yuanshi wants to compete with Quasi-Saints, I am willing to accept this battle!"

Du'e said this loudly.

Since joining the Western Buddhist Sect, he could be said to have enjoyed endless Buddhist blessings.

Fortune added to his body, vast as an abyss!

In addition, there were the spiritual treasures generously gifted by Chen Ku and others earlier.

Today, Du'e felt that it was time to contribute some strength to the Buddhist Sect.

Hearing this, Jieyin and Zhunti's eyes immediately lit up.

With True Person Du'e volunteering, it was much easier to handle.

He was also an ancient innate mighty figure, of the same level as Randeng.

Entering the arena now was just right.

"Hehe, good!"

"Since that is the case, then I will trouble fellow Daoist Du'e."

Hongyun spoke, quite politely saying this.

And on the other side, watching this scene, Yuanshi's expression sank, appearing somewhat angry.

Damn it!

He originally wanted to use Randeng's power to suppress the Buddhist Sect so that no one would dare to accept the challenge.

In this way, he would completely suppress the Buddhist Sect's majesty and restore the Three Pure Ones' reputation.

It's just that he had ignored this True Person Du'e earlier.

However, Yuanshi couldn't say anything more.

After all, he had repeatedly said that Randeng was a Chan Sect disciple and had the qualification to take action.

And True Person Du'e also frankly stated that he was a member of the Buddhist Sect.

Entering the arena now was also fair and square, and a matter of course.

No need for more words.

In the arena, Du'e and Randeng had already taken action.

The Quasi-Saint battle had an even more shocking momentum.

The two figures flashed violently, already using the high sky as a battlefield, so as not to affect the Western Buddhist Pure Land.

One divine ability after another was cast, shaking the heavens and the earth, shaking the universe!

The void sank, collapsing inch by inch, returning to nothingness!

Compared to the previous few rounds of competition, it could be said that every move and style of the two made all living beings' pupils shrink and their livers and gallbladders crack.

This was indescribable great terror!

However, although the scene was terrifyingly abnormal.

But the two sides went back and forth, difficult to distinguish, yet neither had injured the other in the slightest.

For one, a Quasi-Saint battle is not so easy to determine a winner.

For another, one must know that True Person Du'e and Daoist Randeng were once close friends.

Now that they were in different camps, although they had to take action, they both held back and would not truly strike ruthlessly.

To put it plainly, both knew that this was just a battle of face for both sides, not a life-and-death battle.

Watching this scene, all living beings also revealed expressions of enlightenment.

"Quasi-Saint competition, in this battle, without thousands of years, I'm afraid it will be difficult to distinguish who is higher."

Some mighty figures sighed like this.

It could be said that this time Yuanshi really miscalculated.

And just as Jieyin and Zhunti said, such an exchange had already lost its original meaning.

Therefore, all living beings appeared somewhat uninterested, unlike before when they held their breath and looked forward to it.

But as the voice fell, immediately another powerhouse spoke:

"Difficult to distinguish who is higher... that may not be so!"

"This seat once saw with my own eyes that Senior Du'e has many spiritual treasures on his person."

"The harvest he gained in the Buddhist Sect over endless years is definitely not something Randeng can compare to."

"Right now, it's just that the spiritual treasures haven't been summoned; once they appear, then..."

Perhaps intimidated by the Saintly power of the Three Pure Ones, these words were not finished.

But all living beings also knew the implication.

With the continuous revitalization of the West, countless spiritual treasures were nurtured.

Added to the gifts from Chen Ku and others, plus True Person Du'e's own harvest, the spiritual treasures he possessed had long since far surpassed Randeng.

And in the situation where the two sides' strength was equal, the difference in spiritual treasures might become the key factor in determining victory or defeat.

Sure enough!

At a certain moment!

In the arena, True Person Du'e suddenly smiled bitterly in a low voice and spoke:

"Daoist Randeng, I have offended you!"

As the voice fell, True Person Du'e waved his large hand and directly began to use his spiritual treasures.

Although he also cared about his friendship with Randeng, now that he was a member of the Buddhist Sect, showing power and strengthening the momentum for the Buddhist Sect was the most important thing.

As for the so-called friendship, it could only be left for later.

For a time, in the void, divine light was bright and dazzling.

Sharp auras shot out, reflecting each other, covering Randeng, setting off great terror.

Once the spiritual treasure appeared, the situation indeed changed greatly!

Under the blessing of the majestic aura, Randeng was firmly suppressed without suspense.

After all, on Randeng's whole body, there was only one companion spiritual treasure from the past—the Spirit Coffin Lamp.

Looking at True Person Du'e, he had many spiritual treasures, each with majestic power and extreme strength.

This made Randeng's expression gloomy.

"Hateful... hateful..."

"This seat is the Vice-Master of the Chan Sect, yet I have never obtained any top-tier spiritual treasures bestowed by the Saint."

"The different choices of the past have already caused such a huge gap between me and Daoist Du'e."

Randeng cursed secretly in his heart, very dissatisfied.

And this dissatisfaction was not directed at True Person Du'e, but rather at Saint Yuanshi.

As an existence of the same generation, his treatment in the Chan Sect could be said to be bleak.

Compared to True Person Du'e, it was the difference between clouds and mud.

Harboring full resentment, Randeng could only struggle to support.

Wanting to reverse the situation and suppress True Person Du'e was completely impossible.

However, he was a Quasi-Saint mighty figure after all; Randeng exerted his full strength, and it was not so easy to lose.

Of course, if Du'e summoned more spiritual treasures and the battle continued, the result would be unknown.

Outside the arena!

Watching this scene, the Three Pure Ones' expressions became gloomier the more they watched.

Thousands of years, for prehistoric cultivators, naturally are not worth mentioning, just a snap of the fingers.

If everyone was willing, they could wait for the end of these two's competition.

However, by this time, the Three Pure Ones naturally knew clearly.

The final result would inevitably be Randeng's defeat.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Laozi pretended to be indifferent and majestically said:

"That's enough, stop!"

"At the Quasi-Saint level, it is difficult to distinguish victory or defeat!"

"This time, it will still be counted as a draw!"

Laozi said this.

It was just that these words made all living beings' expressions quite strange.

Another draw?!

The competition between Yaoshi and Xuandu earlier being counted as a draw could still be explained.

However, this Du'e and Randeng also counted as a draw?

This damn thing... is somewhat too far-fetched.

Anyone could see that Randeng's defeat was just a matter of time.

But all living beings also instantly understood Laozi's meaning.

This is stopping early to avoid the Three Pure Ones' orthodoxy continuing to embarrass itself.

As long as the battle does not have a result, then the Three Pure Ones have not lost.

This... is also somewhat scheming!

Or in other words, this is just a way for the Three Pure Ones to forcefully save face.

And since Laozi had already said so, Jieyin, Zhunti, and others couldn't argue about anything.

The few nodded, which could be considered acknowledging this result.

"This Dao discussion ends here!"

With the exchange finally stopping.

Saint Nüwa, who had been silent and watching, finally spoke.

As a neutral existence, she announced the complete end of this Dao discussion.

Although the Dao discussion ended, the shock of all living beings still lingered.

Countless mighty figures discussed spiritedly.

The gazes looking at the Buddhist Sect group were also unprecedentedly fanatical and reverent! ===== CHAPTER 300 =====
